A research proposal is a concise and coherent summary of your proposed research. It sets out the central issues or questions that you intend to address. It outlines the general area of study within which your research falls, referring to the current state of knowledge and any recent debates on the topic. It also demonstrates the originality of your proposed research. What should you include in the proposal? Your research proposal should normally include the following information: 1. Title This is a tentative title for your intended research. You will be able to revise your title during the course of your research if you are accepted for admission. 2. Abstract The proposal should include a concise statement of your intended research of no more than 100 words. This may be a couple of sentences setting out the problem that you want to examine or the central question that you wish to address. 3. Research Context You should explain the broad background against which you will conduct your research. You should include a brief overview of the general area of study within which your proposed research falls, summarizing the current state of knowledge and recent debates on the topic. This will allow you to demonstrate a familiarity with the relevant field as well as the ability to communicate clearly and concisely. 4. Research Questions The proposal should set out the central aims and questions that will guide your research. Before writing your proposal, you should take time to reflect on the key questions that you are seeking to answer. Many research proposals are too broad, so reflecting on your key research questions is a good way to make sure that your project is sufficiently narrow and feasible. You might find it helpful to prioritize one or two main questions(Specific Aims), from which you can then derive a number of secondary research questions(Sub-Aims). The proposal should also explain your intended approach to answering the questions: will your approach be empirical, or theoretical etc? 5. Research Methods The proposal should outline your research methods, explaining how you are going to conduct your research. Your methods may include visiting particular libraries or archives, field work or interviews. Most research is library-based. If your proposed research is library-based, you should explain where your key resources are located . If you plan to conduct field work or collect empirical data, you should provide details about this (e.g. if you plan interviews, who will you interview? How many interviews will you conduct? Will there be problems of access?). This section should also explain how you are going to analyze your research findings. 6. Significance of Research The proposal should demonstrate the originality of your intended research. You should therefore explain why your research is important (for example, by explaining how your research builds on and adds to the current state of knowledge in the field or by setting out reasons why it is timely to research your proposed topic). 7. Bibliography The proposal should include a bibliography identifying the most relevant works for your topic.
